Why did it disappear in October 1582?

In 1582, in order to solve the problem of "time difference" of the earth's rotation cycle, the new Gregorian Calendar was skipped for 1 days from October of that year. "oh my god! I want to live 1 days less! Give me back 1 days of life People shouted slogans and took to the streets to protest. After the promulgation of the new Gregorian calendar, the British Parliament passed a resolution to use the new calendar, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the "noble" British. Many people are sad and angry because they have lost 1 days of their life. Protesters poured into the streets, ... It seems that hundreds of years ago, the British who "never set the empire" really couldn't "settle accounts"! The calendar "jumped" backwards for 1 days, so people who died after December 22 of that year will die next year! It is equivalent to living "one year longer".

strictly speaking, it didn't disappear in October 1582, but the ten days from October 5 to October 14, 1582 in the Gregorian calendar (AD). (The article is a bit long, but it's really useful.)

(Every nineteen years, your birthday in the lunar calendar and your birthday in the Gregorian calendar will coincide with the year when you were born.)

In fact, there have been many such situations throughout history. I will elaborate on the reasons for the disappearance of these 1 days, the development of China calendar and the existing calendar, hoping that fans can like it and communicate with each other. 1. The reason for the disappearance of 1 days from October 5 to 14, 1582 < P > This is related to our current calendar, not disappeared, but artificially erased.

There are two kinds of artificial sayings, one is calendar correction, and the other is the end of the world.

1. Let's first understand the more scientific saying that 1 days have been erased due to the correction of the calendar.

Birthdays are all based on the solar calendar, which is the Gregorian calendar, but in the older generation, the lunar calendar is generally used, which is what we call the lunar calendar. Because the current calendar in the world is the Gregorian calendar, that is, the year when Jesus was born is the first year of the calendar (but after some research, it is believed that the year when Christ was born should be 6-4 BC), so these ten days are not available to all the current historical records, but because of the existence of the lunar calendar, Buddhist calendar, Islamic calendar and other ways, strictly speaking, these ten days did not disappear in October 1582, but should be said that the Gregorian calendar disappeared in 1582. For example, on October 11, 22, the hijri calendar (Islamic calendar year) is February 24, 1442, and the hijri calendar has not yet reached 1582. Naturally, there will be no history. (This is not a wrangling, but a rigorous point of view, because everyone has subconsciously recognized that 1582 is the Gregorian calendar.)

Before 1582, the calendar used by Europeans was called julian calendar. At that time, the priest who was in charge of issuing the almanac in Rome made a serious mistake and misunderstood the "leap every three years" stipulated in the original calendar as "leap every three years". From 45 BC to 9 BC, there were supposed to be 1 leap years, but they set 13 leap years.

The earth orbits the sun once (that is, a tropical year), and the real time is 365.422 days. Then, according to julian calendar, its average length is (365+365+365+366)/4=365.25 days. Compared with the tropical year, julian calendar has .78 extra days each year, that is, 11 minutes and 14 seconds. Although this calendar has been accurate, there are still errors, and there will be one day deviation every 128 years. By the 16th century, this deviation had reached 1 days.

So in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII revised the calendar again. And he took a simple and rude approach-erasing it directly from the calendar. These 1 days have become a blank in history. Later, this calendar has been used and introduced to the whole world with the new world system dominated by the West.

2. There is another saying, that is, to avoid the end of the world.

as we know, the Mayans predicted that December 21st, 212 would be the end of the world, and it disappeared for 1 days in 1582. Ten days after December 21st, 212, that is, in 213, 1 days in 1582 were used to make up for the ten days in 212, so the day of the end of the world actually failed. Of course, this statement can only be regarded as an idea after a meal. Second, the development of the calendar in China

Here, I will elaborate from the perspective of the development of the calendar in China. In fact, if the calendar in China continues directly with the "ancient six calendars", there will be more phenomena of missing ten days. Let's find out. Personally, the development of China's calendar shows a gradual transition from solar calendar to solar calendar and lunar calendar.

at first, the ancients began to have the concept of a day, and the ancient people's concept of the month and year was much later than that of the day. Then when the simple calendar appears, there will often be 15 months a year or other situations. Of course, we are now thinking about the ancients from the perspective of the Gregorian calendar, which is debatable.

China is the first country to use calendars in the world. According to historical records, there were 99 kinds of calendars, most of which have been lost. The earliest surviving calendar is the ancient Yin and Yang calendar of the Zhou Dynasty. The so-called yin-yang calendar is actually equal to the yin-yang calendar. That is, the "solar calendar", also known as the "solar calendar", is adopted, which takes the earth's orbit around the sun as a year. The "lunar calendar", also known as the "lunar calendar", takes the moon's orbit around the earth as one month, and the number of hours that the earth orbits the sun as one year. Therefore, it is actually a calendar of yin and yang.

In ancient China, this traditional lunar calendar was mostly used. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was a great contribution of world significance to adjust the Yin and Yang calendars with the method of 19 years and 7 leaps very accurately. It was more than 1 years before the Greeks invented this method.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a four-quarter calendar in China, and its annual fruit was 365.25 days (the annual fruit is the number of days from the "winter solstice" of this year to the "winter solstice" of the following year). This was the most progressive calendar in the world at that time, and its value was the same as that of julian calendar promulgated by Caesar in Rome later, and it was hundreds of years earlier.

In China, there used to be four kinds of lunar calendar endings: Qin Jianhai, that is, the first day of October in the current lunar calendar was the first day of the first month. Zhou Jianzi, that is, the first day of November in the current lunar calendar is the first day of the first month. Shang Jian ugly, that is, the first day of the current lunar calendar is the first day of the first month. Xia Jianyin, that is, March of the weekly calendar is the first month. The current lunar calendar follows the lunar calendar of the Xia Dynasty, so it is also called "Summer Calendar".

From the year of Yongzhenyuan in Tang Shunzong (AD 85), calendars were used in the palace for 12 months throughout the year, divided into 12 volumes, with one page per day. The calendars were given to the eunuchs who served the emperor, who wrote down the important events of the court in the blank space of the calendar, and then submitted them to the emperor for review at the end of the month, and then submitted them to the historian for filing, so as to compile a "national history".

Since Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu, emperors of all dynasties have made it a tradition to send almanac (called Qin calendar) to civil and military officials at the end of the year. In general almanac, the experience of dry branches, monthly orders, solar terms, farming, yellow days and auspicious days, agricultural farming, etc. are printed on the calendar, and a blank is left for the record.

Western ancient calendars are relatively disordered. But the ancient Greek calendar is basically similar to the Chinese lunar calendar. In the ancient western calendar, spring is the beginning of the year, while in Egypt, autumn is the beginning of the year, and the 1th day after the winter solstice is January 1st.

In ancient China, every calendar adjustment was to better guide agricultural production, because China is a traditional agricultural country, which has always been agriculture-oriented, emphasizing agriculture and restraining business. Therefore, at present, farmers in China basically use the lunar calendar to carry out farming activities.

During the Republic of China, the New Year's Day of the Gregorian calendar was briefly changed to the Spring Festival, but most of them still focused on the Lunar New Year. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, two modes were basically formed, especially the national legal holiday, the revival of traditional culture since the 199s, and the New Year's Day, but the Spring Festival is more important. Third, the existing calendars

In the development of calendars around the world, the laws of the relationship between the sun and the earth and the moon and the earth are basically summarized. However, because the earth is divided into the northern and southern hemispheres, the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres are just the opposite, and they are in different time dimensions, etc., the calendars in different places have their own characteristics.

I will only mention four existing calendars with a large number of users. The first three are all related to religion, and they are exactly the three major religions in the world.

Gregorian calendar, that is, the year when Jesus was born, is the first year. Today, it is October 11th, 22.

The Buddhist calendar, that is, the year after the Buddha's nirvana is the first year of the calendar, and today it is 2564, which is widely used by the people in Thailand and Southeast Asian Buddhist countries.

hijri calendar, also known as hijri calendar, is a kind of lunar calendar, which is widely used by Muslims all over the world. In 639, Umar, the second Islamic caliph, decided to designate that year as the Islamic calendar era to commemorate the important historical event that Muhammad led Muslims to migrate from Mecca to Medina in 622. Today is February 24th, 1442.

China lunar calendar and China lunar calendar are also calendars with yin and yang adjusted, not simply the moon calendar. At present, the China lunar calendar is still in the form of heavenly stems and earthly branches calendar, and today is August 25th of the year of Gengzi. There is also a short time according to the Yellow Emperor Chronology, also known as Xuanyuan Chronology, that is, today is August 25th, 4717. There are two opinions about the first year, one is based on the birth of the Yellow Emperor, and the other is based on the year when the Yellow Emperor was in power.

With the strength of the modern west, the Gregorian calendar has been widely recognized in the world, which has facilitated the communication of the world and is also a manifestation of cultural globalization. Of course, calendars suitable for users are also preserved around the world. The Gregorian calendar, like English, is a universal language, and the local calendars are their mother tongues.

In 1582, Pope Yule Boncompagni changed the calendar, replacing julian calendar with Gregorian calendar, and changed October 5th to October 15th of that year.
